Slideshow

These instructions are for creating a rotating slideshow on your IndieCommerce site using a View. ABA will need to enable the modules for you, so if you have not done so already, please contact us with a request to enable the module.

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE STARTING YOUR VIEW SLIDESHOW BANNER:

We highly recommend you save your 'view' after every step, as you create it. Especially when you see this message come up: “* All changes are stored temporarily. Click Save to make your changes permanent. Click Cancel to discard the view.”

When working in settings always change the ‘For’ option from ‘All Displays’ to ‘This block (override)’ so that the changes you make only alter the block (or page) you are working on.

'Image Style’ should be set to the image style you previously created (Example: Banner Image 800x300)

Set your Link Image to’ Nothing’ or ‘Content’

Apply this display

Under ‘Filter Criteria’ confirm you see both ‘Content: Published’ and ‘Content: Type Slider Show Banner’ - if you do not, use the ‘Add’ button to select them

You are now finished with the view. You should see the images that you added earlier appear in the preview below. Make sure your view is saved and visit Structure > Blocks to place the view in a suitable region.

ADD A LINK PATH

If you want your banner image to link to something other than its original content you will need to add a ‘Link Path’ field to both the content itself and the view.
